Consequently the parts will rem jection to the type of curler or waver is tain their operative positions and this will overcome, for unless a predetermined amount be true, irrespective of the amount of hair of hair is secured there is always danger of wrapped upon the body, because the keeper the curler becoming unfastened. can always be moved up to the hair.
